Exceedingly Decent people

These chums of bitchez pretty much made my week last week.

The Heaps Decent Executive (Levins, Boz, Charliechux & KLP) were in and out of town on their way to Wilcannia where they were running hip-hop & music production workshops at the Drop-In Centre, Preschool & Highschool. Amazing to see and hear what they did with the kids. Rhyme awareness, phonological awareness, initial-sound, macro & micro text-type structures - they cover all the good shit that us nerdy speechie's been working on and get to do it all under the guise of rap. Enough to make an ex-lady-rapper pick up the mic again and pass it to the fine ladies of Wilcannia Central School. "The girls with the flavour and the girls with the curls." Damn fine lyricists they iz too (with a bit of help from KLP - aka Kristy Jolie aka International Roast).

Heaps Decent just got community approval (and sumkindagovtphunding) to come back to Wilcannia every term for next few years. Brings tears it does. Even if they're not a Circus crew. There was some miscommunication & when they arrived the school was under the misapprehension that Levins et al. were were Circus performers coming to run clowning workshops. Kinda...

Anyway, waf* times in the booth and the bush with these major babes. Oh yeah, and Levins won the "Minor Prize" on the Skilltester that night and it was Warheads & Sherbies all round.
